FORGIVENESS

Forgive me when I fail thee,
Open my heart and cleanse me,
Repentance I am giving,
Regret with tears streaming,
God I love you forever,
I didn't want to hurt you never,
Verily you say unto me,
Escape sins path to be free,
Never go there again,
Expecting to win,
So do as I say,
Serve me, read your bible, and pray everyday.

Forgiveness is on it's way!

This was written because lately I have said things and done things I let slip. So I felt conviction to ask for forgiveness of God.

Maybe you should first look for forgiveness from yourself...

Forgivness is much harder when it's you you need to forgive, but guilt can eat you alive. I'm glad you've reached peace with yourself

Unforgiveness is not only a sine but a form of self-torment because it only hurts you. Whoever said "fprgiveness was divine" knew what they were speaking of.

Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Right on Michael!
Romantic, once we ask forgiveness with a sincere change of mind it is removed, our sins that is.

Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
13) Like as a father pitieth his children,
So the Lord pitieth them that fear(revere) Him.
